Abstract
- The author believes that the police must not be a daily presence if people want African American patrons and staff to feel safe in the library. She talks about the police killing of African American George Floyd which led to protests, some library initiatives that have been shown to reduce the need to call the cops, and her belief on the need of public libraries to aim to drastically reduce their reliance on police presence.
